Lmao, "we need to keep the school to prison pipeline alive to win those moderate voters"

That is the name of a cartoon rat and you can't convince me otherwise
I'm convinced "center" itself is an astroturfed dog whistle
:Tinfoil hat:
centre in europe is more cold blooded neoliberal ghoul, i reckon, think :macron: . same in japan.
I've said before but the irony with that sub is that despite being named after a specific ideology it's woefully ideologically incoherent and mostly full of confused wannabe New Deal coalition liberals, when certain users post actual neoliberal takes they tend to be unpopular with the sub's population at large.
There's only really three things that unite the people there: being mindless Democratic partisans, essentially defining their liberalism as "I support all the good things", and rabidly hating anything remotely associated with the online "left"
Really enjoyed the "Why No Nuclear in GND?!!!!" freak outs. Fuckers over there looooove nuclear energy. But they also love free market solutions to energy problems.
Asking how you build a nuclear power plant without federal subsidies always gets a mix of "Muh Regulations!", "New Technology any minute now!", and "Shut up Leftist!"
They'd unironically blame zoning laws for the lack of privately-owned nuclear power plants
Ah yes, that thing that studies have shown has no actual effect on school violence. Of course.
This is what uncritically consuming mainstream media does to a mfer.
It's ridiculous but it's also grasping at something I think is true, which is that the American people by and large are reactionary and fear any disruption of the institutions they've normalized as part of life. Like cops.
Attacks on the bedrock of people's conception of the world is bound to produce reaction if there are no alternative institutions is place to counter it. So best to start making those, I think.
any progressive that is not a complete cuck will blame these neo-libs right back by saying “this is what happens when Dems don’t deliver on their promises to make people’s lives better”
it’s really not that hard.
They just ignore it and blame progressives anyway. There is no getting through. We need to stop wasting time arguing with the hard liners and just let them fail. Outside of violent revolution, we are going to keep heading rightward til we are all nuked by climate change.
They ignore it but those who listen to them may be swayed by it.
libs are gonna spend the next year doing insanely stupid shit out of fear of a Trump presidency aren’t they
It would be especially funny if it resulted in Trump's second term.
Also:
Runs centrist Clinton democrat, loses
"This is the fault of progressives"
You see, if the progressives bend over for the 67th time, the Dems could pass some watered-down infrastructure legislation that would instantly bring jobs and benefits and good stuff and earn votes! Therefore, anything bad that happens to the Dems somewhere is on them.
Yes, this is the actual talking point they're trying to push.
If I were to take that at face value, the takeaway would still be that it's perpetuate baby's first election, and nobody has been paying attention or they are all just young and inexperienced.
We all know that's not what's happening though, or Dems wouldn't have such close margins every time
I saw someone on Reddit argue that it WOD be a bad thing if the Democrats fell in line like Republicans or if Joe Biden used the bully pulpit. It's too close to orange man for them.
I thought this is just going to be some mild lib stupidity, but wow this is actually some reactionary take.
This person's thoughts on politics center around very granular school issues. I'm thinking that's a kid who posted that.
Sure, usually, but something about the way that post is written, it just really sounds like someone who's still in school.
Yes more of these please, keep going further to the right shitlibs, come up with the dumbest takes possible, I want full discount alt-right the whole hog
Keep fuckin losing so we can break this piece of shit party in half
fuck gifted programs to death, school literally get more money depending on how many kids with gifted IQ they have. literally had zero positive effect on my learning, pretty sure it did the opposite
After COVID completely fucked the public school system, kids are flunking standardized tests in record numbers. This is going to be the wedge that finally topples public education, without a doubt.
